Chapter 212 The fierce battle is in full swing
Maggette saw Trenden Hassell receiving the ball and retreated directly to the inside. Alan Houston, who was on the inside, chose to stand up at this time. He ran from the inside to the outside, and Garnett also ran from the high post to the low post. Trendon Hassel saw the CIC king coming, and quickly handed the ball to Garnett.
After receiving the ball with his back turned, Garnett turned to the right again in a familiar way, and threw the ball face-up. The moment Milicic saw Garnett turn around, he rushed forward. His desperate defense made Garnett hit a good iron at the beginning.But because Milicic and Garnett were relatively outside together and not in the penalty area, the rebound was grabbed by Irvin Johnson, and the opponent relied on his own enthusiasm to force Randolph to score points.
Elvin Johnson was able to squeeze out Olavokandi as the starter, never relying on technology, but on enthusiasm and defense.The No. [-] pick has nothing but bad shots. After all, he is a shooter. This is a classic quote from Olavokandi.
2:3, the Timberwolves are still playing as a whole, playing their own basketball, and their rhythm has not been affected by Li Qi.
Li Qi still dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, this time handed it to Milicic on the left side, and continued to run. Trendon Hassel could only continue to follow. Milicic received the ball outside the penalty area on the left side. He leaned sideways and wanted to single Garnett.He didn't see a better position, so he chose a mid-range shot from the left near the bottom corner. Garnett's defense was very good, and the ball missed. Just when he was about to accept the rebound, a white figure suddenly appeared from beside Garnett, and lightly lifted the ball that bounced off the backboard, and the ball flew into the net obediently.
"Good shot, Xiao Li's tip-up is really smart. He played against the Timberwolves. He didn't hold the ball at all, and he didn't have the ball. No. 23 of the Timberwolves was no match at all. Xiao Li scored 5 points in the opening game. The situation is very good." Zhang Lili was very eloquent in the commentary hall, and Sun Zhengping completely became the foil.
At 2:5, Li Qi played very smartly at the start. He avoided the gate of Hassel in the first two attacks, which greatly reduced his role on the field.
Cassel is still used to attacking from the side. Although his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs is a new high in his career, the aliens are still more accustomed to making mid-range shots from the inside, which looks more secure.This time he came to the right side, and Li Qi still followed closely. Cassel patted the ball to his right hand, and his body moved to that side.
There was no way around this. Li Qi's center of gravity was too high, and he was doomed to suffer from defending shorter players. This was also the reason why Magician didn't have the best defensive lineup.
Cassel broke through to the front of the penalty area from the outside, Milicic came back to defend, the alien was very calm, he gave the ball to Irvin Johnson, the Timberwolves center scored 2 more points, and the guy also started with 4 points.
Sanders clapped his hands on the sidelines, indicating that Cassel continued to play like that. Li Qi also dribbled the ball to the right. He did not pass the ball.
But Li Qi ignored Garnett's defense change, and chose to shoot against the opponent. With a snap, Garnett slammed into Li Qi's hand hard, and the shot hit the iron. Dan Crawford decisively called Garnett a foul, and Timberwolves No. 21 immediately became anxious, "I didn't foul. It was a good block just now. It's not a foul, Mr. Referee."
Li Qi stood on the free throw line and made a steady free throw. He scored 7 points, 4:7, and the Timberwolves were still one goal behind.
Cassell wanted to return one. He dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, turned his back and went inside, turned around and made a jump shot, and hit the ball steadily, 6:7. The ball was just interfered by Li Qi, and he didn’t go directly to the thug like Garnett.
Because the last attack was successful, Trendon Hassell did not dare to stick to Li Qi so tightly. When Li Qi came over, he was in front and only gave the opponent half a step away. This half step gave him a chance to jump over and interfere with the shot.
Li Qi is the kind of person who develops the color of the three-pointer. When he found that Timberwolves No. 23 let him go, he stepped back decisively and shot Duang. The ball hit the iron, but Trendon Hassel was scared to death.
The rebound was picked up by the Timberwolves. They launched a fast break. Cassel dribbled the ball to the front and gave it to the mid-range shooter who was already ambushing in the right corner. Alan Houston had the potential to become a top three-point shooter, but he was completely crippled by Van Gundy in the Knicks for a few seasons. He jumped out of the corner and directly poked the ball away.
Then, they stepped forward with full horsepower, and the other members of the Timberwolves were also chasing and defending, but they couldn't keep up with Li Qi's speed. Li Qi didn't have a three-point fast break, but a two-pointer. 6:9.
Li Qi started the game very hot, and he didn't miss the ball except for the three-pointer. Sanders didn't call a timeout. The game continued until 6 minutes into the first quarter. The score of the two sides was 13:15, and the Blazers still led by 2 points.
Although Li Qi played very well in the first few minutes and scored 9 points frantically, in the next few minutes, the Timberwolves' defensive strength increased, which still made him a little overwhelmed. There is a saying that the Timberwolves' ability to enter the Western Conference Finals in the historical space is not accidental, it is really a manifestation of strength.
Madman doesn't know if it's because of his age, but he didn't play very well. Currently, he is 2 out of 0 and got 1 assist.
